I'm bummed that they ended this show! It was such a fun ride! I loved how it explored much of what made Clark, Clark! Obviously not as well as they did in Smallville but that show began when Clark was a teenager and this one with him already being a father.
Tyler Hoechlin did a fantastic job at playing Superman! His acting was strong throughout the series and I felt for the character. I admired how he was with his family and I bought into it. He did a great job! :)
Now - this show had it's problems, yeah. When this all took place is kind of confusing for people who both know the characters as well as for new fans, I'd think at least. I mean, who all has Superman already battled against at this point? Him being Superman has already been established - but we don't know when it's happening.
The supporting cast is strong as well, I feel. I enjoyed watching Clark's family grow and mature over the series. Lol, I know that I didn't behave like his son's! Hahaha, if I would have I'd of gotten smacked once or twice. :P Whatever though - it's a series set in a new time, obviously there will be some things that are a bit off.
The villains in this one aren't super entertaining, I feel. I enjoyed some of their arcs but mostly it wasn't my thing. It's all good though, I was there to watch Superman be Superman. :)
Glad to have watched it but I felt that the show could have lasted another season or two, That's my only complaint with this one. :) GIVE ME MORE! :P.

I just finished the last episode of season 3 and have to say that Superman & Lois is every bit as good as I thought it would be! Admittedly, I'm huge fan of Superhero movies/shows and Superman and Batman have been my favorite since childhood so I was really looking forward to this since it was announced and has not disappointed. While Henry Cavill is the best Superman ever (my opinion of course) and Tom Welling (Smallville) was the best on TV, Tyler Hoechlin more than held his own and makes a great Superman/Clark Kent! I admit that the kids can be a little annoying at times and are the only negative on a great show. This is the best CW show since the early seasons of Arrow and the Flash. It's too bad it's ending next season.
The only problem I have with this show is too much teenage drama, too much secrets, many lies, staring scenes (very boring) and it just drags the show down. Plus they say "I'm sorry or I'm so sorry" way too many times. Fight scenes are great and long, not 5 minutes. Superman and Lois are great but the rest of the characters I don't care about. This show is way better than the Flash and Supergirl. Supergirl started great and then it just declined with ridiculous story lines, short fight scenes. They could have approved the show but they didn't. It's too bad The CW canceled this series this year.
I think this is one of the best Superman shows to date.
The stories are well written and the final season so far has been stellar. Tyler makes a great superman and a really good Clark Kent. Elizabeth also makes a great Lois and I love how they slowly developed the story with both of his kids. I will be sad to see it go honestly, but the writers so far are doing a good job with the final season in its story telling. I hope it stays that way =) I wish this would have lasted as long as Smallville did although I was less impressed at Smallville the last few seasons personally. I hope they make some sort of tv movie in the future, but probably won't since supposedly this is ending because of the James Gunn stuff which I think is ridiculous, if true.

Superman and Lois is the best DC CW show outside of Arrow. Tyler Hoechlin is so much better than I expected as Superman and Clark Kent. I hope he continues to play this character for years. They probably could've cast a better Lois though, Elizabeth Tulloch is just not a good Lois Lane and looks much older than her age for some reason. This is a Superman show unlike any that's ever been made, it focuses a lot more on his family and his personal life than we've ever seen. I didn't think I would like that part of the show as much but I do, they make it very interesting and of course all the scenes with him as Superman are amazing. It has a cinematic feel to it. I definitely recommend this show to any superhero fan.
